The whole Luigi trial is going to be so fucking funny it's unbelievable. Literally parading him around with an army of police men AND the NYC mayor lmao. Not even trying to portray this as a fair trial. He's going to be made an example of so that us poor people know where we stand.

Sometimes I wish our party would be more into physical development as well. Maybe not too obvious but just behind the scene lifting groups or something. No offense to my comrades but there are practically no active lifters I know within the party in my region. I tried to bring this up on multiple occasions but never really got an answer.

what’s this term muslim brotherhood?

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

Sunni ultranationalist, fundamentalist, Islamic group that are rabidly anti-communist and right wing. Designated a terrorist organization by the vast majority of the world, including Russia and the PRC.

My mom no-joke says that she is scared of the "Venezuelan gangs" that she reads and hears about all the time on the news. She says that she even gets scared whenever she hears a noise at night because of this. I even try to tell her that the media is trying to get her scared by blasting this stuff and that undocumented immigrants actually commit less crimes on average. Whatever I say, it all goes over her head.

The media has successfully tricked her into being scared of the evil scary brown people. It's both very funny and very sad at the same time.

There really are people that think dying in a car crash is hereditable 🙄

Somewhat pleasantly surprised by the Pelicot case ruling today. It could be harsher but as far as I can see everyone involved got convicted which I found unexpected really.

I spoke to a Coptic priest and he said that Copts support Palestine. Good to know that middle eastern christians do support Palestine

"My world systems theory analysis says you should just give up, never try at anything and accept neoliberalism because hegemony means literally the Orwell quote. Accept it, tankie, communism has been mathematically disproven" (bullshit)

How the fuck do these people get up in the morning and actually think anything? How does someone with a worldview like that not just turn into a soulless husk? I dunno. Is this a new social tactic that feds spinned up in the 90s and are rebooting?

I wish US leaders have also internalized that, they will fail so miserably.

I had been feeling fatigued for a while now and some days ago I remembered I didn't take vitamin B supplements for a while now. I eat plant based and usually I get enough out of my food but it doesn't hurt to take some in a while.

Anyway I have been taking them for a few days now and I honestly feel better lol. Check your vitamins these dark days y'all.

"The Salafist Social Republic has opened trade negotiations with Sweden for returning immigrant asylum claims and mining rights in exchange for billions of dollars. Israel has taken Golan to Al Bukamal and the government has yet to comment. Four new U.S military bases have been planned in the region."

Sounds about right?

Hey but in theory Syria is free. Free to give away their country for sure.

[–] Vertraumir@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 14 hours ago

Free like Libya or Russia in 90's

Reaching Christmas period and today I felt like putting on just a fall jacket. Like it was 13 degree Celsius man what the fuck lol. There was a strong wind which just felt like a warm hair dryer. I have flowers that are starting to grow on my balcony. Climate change is no joke.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Similar temperatures where i am, plus we're just getting a whole lot of rain until Christmas. When i was a kid there was not a single Christmas or New Year's without snow. Now i can't remember the last time I've seen snow in December, must be over a decade. If we do get any it's usually in late January and February.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Christmas shopping when you're almost broke is not fun

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

First world problems but I have it reversed for the first time now where my family is doing pretty well. Now my brother's partner came in with a big ass bag of presents. Must have been 15 or something. I immediately felt pressured to buy a lot of shit but I had no idea what. Figured I might as well just give one more expensive but sustainable gift for everyone. Doesn't help that the people I celebrate with probably already have everything they need. It's just wants at this point and tbh their wants are kinda trash lol.

Why can't we just, idk, buy something simple instead of increasingly trying to impress others.

I don't think I am in a doomer fase but I do feel pessimistic I guess.

There's just a large discrepancy between my life passions and constantly being politically active. I don't like politics. I don't like being politically active. I like gardening, nature, bird watching, working out, etc. Instead I find myself trying to convince people we should not let some few rich losers destroy our world.

Just ranting I guess but I often find myself asking what I'm doing with my life these days.

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 days ago

I struggle with a similar thing. Its hard. I am just a little ape who wants to have fun why do i have to be worried about other dumb apes destroying the entire world? Its like we are the constant victims of some horrible crime that most people act as if they don't see.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 3 days ago

Feel the same, would like to just go party, listen to music, hike and play sports and board games but all this political stuff I do mostly because I feel the need to do something

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Best to take frequent breaks.

Force yourself. Forcing yourself is what self-care is all about. I know people laugh off self-care, but you have to force yourself. Self-care involves giving yourself the benefit of doubt.

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

right now i hear someone play a family guy mobile game lol

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 days ago

Ive been struggling to find motivation to do things. The urge to fall into escapism is really strong lately. But i know ill be happier later if i dont waste my limited free time doing that.

[–] ahriboy@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I beat fever today and I'm waiting for diarrhea to be cleared.

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago
